Integrate more exercise and eating and drinking habits in everyday life
Since the birth of my last child I try to integrate even more exercise and good eating and drinking habits in my everyday life. I have some tips that I would like to share with you.
Our household includes my husband, our 3 kids, a dog and our house with a large garden. In itself, I am already busy enough with it. But still you can turn on a few cogs.
The idea: more movement, less sugar, exchange of recipes and ideas, soul talk / soul wellness.
Find like-minded people
First of all, I picked out like-minded moms from my circle of friends and created a WhatsApp group directly. The name is program: Ran to the bacon: In this group, we write ourselves easily, exchange our recipes, arrange to go for a walk or to go for a walk or pick up at the kindergarten, etc. In our group, we look once a week, whether what has happened to the weight. In addition, I still record my weight in my app my sports watch.
Move more in everyday life
Instead of the lift, take the stairs instead of the car on foot to pick up the children in the Kiga, make a big walk to the neighboring village to the bakery, if you pay attention to a lot of extra movement together and you can walk together with mums / girlfriends great for sharing. Here is a fitness tracker makes sense, because here you can see how many steps you have done and if you could not do something more.
Drink more
Also the drinking behavior is an important adjusting wheel. Who does not know, it was stressful, you're on the road or it's hectic in the office. Since the drinking is often too short. That's why I'm already cooking a big pot of tea in the morning (I still pick up the bags, as I wrote in one of my other tips ... bissi Wellness in between is still doing well?) And I pour after cooling down directly two large glasses. As soon as I have emptied a glass with large sips, it is poured over or cooked directly again fresh tea. Drinking is just good for the body. But beware! Too much is not good.
Less sugar
This too is a pinwheel on which you can consciously turn something. When I bake with the kids, I take z. For example, less sugar than indicated and that usually works just as well from the baking ago and tastes it makes little. On the contrary, the actual taste of the pastry comes out better because it just does not just taste sweet. And also the coffee tastes to me now only with milk. That's my personal experience and certainly not something for everyone. But it's all a habit.
Shopping together, cooking together, knowing what's inside
During our walks to the neighboring village, we often go to the greengrocer and even then the kids are looking for something for themselves, often something they do not know. At home we look for a recipe together and cook together. (My big ones are 6 and 7). Of course we do not do this every day, because everyday life does not always allow that, but if time permits, it's great fun.
With all this, the most important thing for me is the exchange with my moms, we are in easy contact, we go out even more and even if things do not go so well, we motivate each other.
info
To the whole theme fits wonderfully our new roommate, the Soehnle Shape Sense Connect 200. Here are my first impressions of the Libra.
The optics
The scale is visually appealing and it is processed quality, the tread is sufficient and because of the scale milk glass optics, it fits pretty much in every bathroom and it does not hide under a cabinet or in a drawer. The balance has three buttons under the display. One on / off button and two buttons to scroll through the menu.
What she should be able to do
This scale advertises with a premium body analysis and the latest feature that is currently available, a direct Bluetooth transfer of data to the smartphone. Furthermore, the balance determines body fat, body water and muscle mass and BMI. And of course the most important thing, the weight. By connecting Libra to the app you should have his successes and data in view and gets calculated in the so-called athlete mode, the individual calorie needs.
The functionality
After inserting the supplied AAA batteries and after installing the app on the smartphone, it starts. The Soehnle Connect app is available from Android 6.0, iOS 9, Bluetooth 4.0. Downloading the app is still the simplest. On the app you create a profile with the personal data such as age, size, activity status, etc. This can also be set on the scales directly, but in the app that is much more comfortable. The intelligent memory of the scale should detect up to 8 people automatically. After weighing and measuring the other points you must have opened the app so that the data can be transferred.
My first conclusion
I expect a balance primarily to communicate my body weight.I had a normal soehnle balance in use before and I have to say that I was very happy with it and am. From the Bluetooth toothbrush it goes in the bathroom now to the Bluetooth scale. And the question of all questions is for everyone, whether he needs it for himself. I think it is z. For example, it is a pity that my sports watch from a large manufacturer can not be synchronized with the App or Libra. So I would have the data in my statistics much better in view and could work with the calculated values without transferring the data. What I also find difficult is the connection from the app to the scale. Unfortunately, this works despite the phone with the required Android version more than slow. We have tried it with a Samsung S8, which works bumpy and with a Huawei P20, there is the balance or app, unfortunately, no connection.
If I stand on the scale, and it has actually realized that it is me and not my husband (the smart memory remembers the key data), you have to stand still until all the data is displayed. If you still want to, you can start the app and transfer the values. I can not say anything about the accuracy of the values of water, muscle mass / body fat. The weight is consistent with my existing Soehnle scale.
I will use the next weeks again for extensive testing. Personally, the Libra's data does not animate me to accelerate my sport or to work on eating habits. For the connection to the app and possibly the synchronization with my running clock would have to be possible.
